11. So who will I invest in?
• 2 founders - 1 must be male
• Graduate non-engineers, and have started a
business before
• Be unoriginal/lazy and clone from (US, JPN, CHN,
INDIA) for the consumer market and have a strong
regional SEA expansion plan
• If you are all of the above, I will invest…just
kidding
